Dinesh D'Souza, president of The King's College and co-producer of the hit documentary "2016: Obama's America," is facing scrutiny for his relationship with a woman whom he has introduced to some as his fiancée. D'Souza is currently married but has filed for divorce.

The Indian American, who was raised Catholic and now identifies himself as a nondenominational Christian, stayed at a hotel with Denise Odie Joseph II during an apologetics conference last month in South Carolina, according to World Magazine.

D'Souza told conference organizer Alex McFarland that nothing happened that night though they shared the same hotel room, the magazine reported.

Though still married to his wife of 20 years, Dixie, D'Souza had also introduced the young woman as his fiancée to a few people at the two-day conference that took place at First Baptist North Church.

D'Souza filed for divorce from Dixie on Oct. 4.

The Board of Trustees of The King's College released a statement Tuesday, stating that they were aware of "admitted difficulties" in D'Souza's marriage. But there were other details in the magazine story that the board was not aware of, prompting them to hold a "special session" with the college president to learn about the situation.

The board will again meet this week to continue its review and investigation.

"Until we complete this internal process we do not intend to publicly address any matters related to Mr. D'Souza and his relationship with the College," the board stated. "In the meantime, be assured we take seriously our charge to teach a compelling worldview rooted in the Bible and expect all of our leaders to model Christian character and integrity in their public and private lives. Our primary concern will always be for our students and we promise appropriate communication with them as quickly as we can do so responsibly."

The King's College head told World on Monday that he is suspending his engagement to Joseph. In her Facebook profile, Joseph lists among her "favorites" D'Souza, Ayn Rand, Pat Buchanan, Sen. Rand Paul and RonPaul.com.

D'Souza was named president of The King's College in 2010. He is the author of The Roots of Obama's Rage (2010) and most recently Obama's America. His film "2016," which is based on his books, is the second highest-grossing political documentary in U.S. box office history.

(NO LIBS. This Means Liberals and (L)libertarians! Same Thing. NO LIBS!!)

Too late on the film/video. It's already being advertised as a pay selection on Direct TV and this kind of crap will not soften the blow. The Obama campaign is beginning to look like the Hindenburg as it approached its mooring.

When it’s a public figure, with corroborating court filings and such, it’s real hard to draw the line between news and gossip. Now entirely made-up stuff aimed to hurt the person — that’s gossip. Surreptitious topless photos like what’s her name across the pond — that’s a form of gossip or worse.

RE: WHY the vitriol and hatred again DSouza? You and others are eager to throw him under the bus here.

Excuse me? Now you can read my mind huh?

I don’t read this article with joy, gladness or any tinge of celebration at all.

I see it as a defeat for the cause of conservatism and Christianity.

However, we do have to hold D’Souza and people who we support to a higher standard, especially when they hold high positions in Christian institutions.

As for this :

Are we now supposed to kick DSouza to the curb? Burn his books?

Let me show you where the fallacy of the argument is -— If a health teacher tells his students, with full scientific evidence, that smoking is bad for your health and sternly warns his students NOT TO SMOKE and his students later spied him smoking privately somewhere, would it be smart or even logical for his students to conclude this — THEREFORE IT IS OK TO SMOKE !!

Would an aborted baby stop being a human being, liberal ideas, stop being harmful to the country just because a leading conservative fails to live up to his ideals?

Would Jesus Christ cease to be Son of God and Savior of the world just because priests who preach His gospel have been found to be pedophiles?

So they're attacking him? Well the man is head of a college, so should have some accountability as an example. Still married to his wife and engaged at the same time to another women, and opening sharing a hotel room with her with evidently no worry for how that looks. In my book, I'd say he deserves some attacking.

I think God threw that stone.

II Samuel 11:27: “After the time of mourning was over, David had her brought to his house, and she became his wife and bore him a son. But the thing David had done displeased the Lord.”

David knew what he did was wrong, condemning another person for sins comparable to his own, not realizing he was condemning himself with his own words:

II Samuel 12:5-6: “David burned with anger against the man and said to Nathan, ‘As surely as the Lord lives, the man who did this must die! He must pay for that lamb four times over, because he did such a thing and had no pity.’”

Even after David repented of his sin, God brought dire consequences upon him in punishment:

II Samuel 12:9-12: “Why did you despise the word of the Lord by doing what is evil in his eyes? You struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword and took his wife to be your own. You killed him with the sword of the Ammonites. Now, therefore, the sword will never depart from your house, because you despised me and took the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your own.’ This is what the Lord says: ‘Out of your own household I am going to bring calamity on you. Before your very eyes I will take your wives and give them to one who is close to you, and he will sleep with your wives in broad daylight. You did it in secret, but I will do this thing in broad daylight before all Israel.’”

When we don't discipline ourselves, God will discipline us — and his discipline is usually far more severe.

You are absolutely right......but I was referring to D’Sousa. David repented, but still paid. We don’t know if D’Sousa has, or will. A possible indicator might be if something happens in his life which would indicate a “stone thrown by the Lord.”

But D’Sousa has already lost his gig at King’s College....and I have a hunch his book futures may be somewhat diminished. However, this sort of thing never hurt Slick Willie, at least not financially. All accounts will be settled in eternity. THAT is a lead pipe cinch!
